Hello everyone… Happy Saturday and Welcome to Precious Remembrance New Stamp Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. It is their first new release of this year and we are so glad that you are here to celebrate!
We are showcasing the the new stamp set, Daily Thoughts on our projects for this blog hop. It is a fun and fabulous stamp set to create with. It is full with retro look images, hand-lettering and positive vibe sentiments:
And for this blog hop project, I created a mixed media card using this Daily Thoughts Stamp Set. First time I saw the cassette tape image, it reminded of my Junior High School year! Yes… I grew up with cassette tapes! LOL! 😀 😀 😀
First I created the background. On a black heavy cardtock, I stamped it using white acrylic paint and plastic bubble wrap. When the paint dried, I used a Distresser Tool to distress the edges of the page.
Next, I sprayed some homemade gold paint spray on a white cardtock, dried with craft heater, and cut it with one of the Rectangles Dies.
I added both background panels on a side-folded white card with strong liquid adhesive.
On a watercolor paper, I added the inks from Kaleidacolor Bouquet Ink Pad using brayer tool. First, I roll the brayer on the ink pad several times to make sure it pick up the inks, and then I sprayed it with the Ink Potion No.9 spray, and rolled it on the cardstock. And the magic happened! I love the distress and watercolor paper texture show up on this panel after the inking process.
I dried the inked cardstock with craft heater. And after that using my Mini MISTI, I stamped the Cassette image on in with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad. I stamped it several times to get a crisp image. Next, I fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors. I added on the card with 3D foam tape for an extra dimension.
For the sentiments, I stamped them on a white cardstock with London Fog Memento Dew Drop Ink Pad. Cut them down into paper strips, and added them on the paper with strong liquid adhesive.
I finished this card with some triangle metal studs I had in my stash. And my mixed media card is done!
